US President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for a crucial summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping focused on trade disputes, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and the ongoing Iran conflict. The visit marks the first US presidential trip to China in nearly nine years and includes meetings with top Chinese officials and business leaders. Trump is reportedly seeking greater market access for American companies and stability in economic ties. China, meanwhile, is expected to push back against US tariffs and arms sales to Taiwan. Analysts say the summit aims more at managing rivalry and avoiding escalation than achieving a major diplomatic breakthrough. (PC: AP)
